Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

The manager expressed deep feeling regarding the passing of Diogo Jota, a player he signed while in charge, along with the consequences for the team. Jota lost his life in a car crash together with his sibling recently.

“Who can fill the void of somebody like Diogo? It’s not about the player himself, his personality mattered. It's hard to picture the dressing room missing him. Putting it into words is tough on this topic. It was an incredible shock for all the boys too. Not a single person might employ it for poor performances though it's a fact. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Dealing with that on a personal level is challenging. Unbearable.”
